The New England soldier boys were not
used to the fierce heat of the southern sum-
mer sun and the dazzling white sand which
parched and burned by turn during the day,
while the night time brought plague of
mosquitoes and feas. These Affections, COM
bined with the brackish drinking water from
shallow wells dug in the sand, helped to III
tensify the thirst and general discontinue.
Hundreds sickened and died, and their re-
mains were laid away in the cemetery ON the
north shore, the winds bearing over their
soon neglected graves the eternal sobbing and
moaning of the surf; and when the storm
was abroad the wind uncovered the sepul-
chres and s.rewed the stands with bones and
grave clothes During our first visit to the
island, year or two ago, the writer met the
superintendent of the national cemetery at
New Orleans who had in one day picked
up twenty-eight bags of bones, which he
carried away and buried among the "un-
known" at Chalmette The fence has disap-
peared and the wooden headboards were long
ago driven into the sea, and nothing now dis
tinguishes the site of the old cemetery from
the surrounding waste, except when a pro-
truding bone or skull shows ITSELF
The ordnance sergeant at the fort has
orders now after twenty years to visit the
ground regularly and keep the bones covered

to New Orleans Frequent mentions are
made of Ship island by French writers during
the period of Bourbon ownership of the coun-
try. Lafitte, Cole and other freeboeters of
these southern seas are said to have fire
quented the island, and stories of buried
treasures current have induced not a few
persons to dig here and there in odd places in
search of gold and jewels. The island
belongs to the government and there is no
law against shoveling sand.
In 1914 Sir Edward Buckingham, with a
fleet of seventy odd men-Of-war and trans.
ports, fresh from the burning of Washington
City, rendezvoused here pending the attack
on New Orleans, which resulted in Jackson's
victory, the crowniHg act of the closing
chapter of our last war with England.
In 1862 the ships Of Farragut and Butler
anchored here, and the island was turned
into camp From here expeditions started
to aid in the capture of Mobile and New Or
leans Butler put floating saw mill at
work and cut timber and lumber from the
center of the island for buildings at the west
end. A submarine cable was laid to the
shore and subsequently, extended through the
Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain to New Or
leans. Pieces of cable are now scattered
about as curios.

Gulf, Colorado q Santa Fe Railway
company VS.. II. II. Rambolt, from Milan
county. Opinion by Gaines, A. j.
This was a suit in the district court to
recover from appellants $500 for over
charges in passenger fare. The case is
rev ersed and dismissed.
The reasons given for this are as fol-
lows:
The jurisdiction of the district court
under the constitution (section s, article
81 is original when the matter in con-
troversy shall be valued at or amount to
$500, while the original jurisdictions of
the county court is Exclusive" when the
amount in controversy exceeds 5000 and
does not exceed $500. There is nothing
in the reason or policy of the law to aid
us in deciding the question.
In the first place, the jurisdiction of
the district court is expressed in general
terms, while the county court is expressed
in certain, specific and undisputed terms,
and, at the same time, the concurrent ju-
risdiction with the district court is accu-
rately laid down. Furthermore, it is
rule of law in constituting repugnant pro-
visions of the same statute or constitu-
ton, the last provision should control.

A Queer Habit of Eating.

Elijah Smith, the Oregon railway magnate,
is said to have queer habit of eating. The
great meal of the day with him is breakfast.
He takes no lunch and is careless about his
dinner, eating whatever he may happen to
get hold of at the dinner hour He insists on
having the best breakfast that can be served,
and starts in on every days work with his
stomach supplied with an amount of food
which vii suffice for at least ten hours.-New

things earthly The healthfuness Of the
island is unquestoned, and DR.. Murray's sug-
gestion that the government make it a SAM
talium for disabled seamen is one worthy of
the attention of congress. About the quar-
antine station is found the principal verdure
of the island, which consists of pine and live
oak, interspersed with palmetto glades and
coarse grasses. That independent and most
seucy of all American Songsters, the hooking
bird, is here in force, and its song is heard
night and day mingling with the everlasting
roar Of the surf. The Indians have rightly
named it the four hundred tongued bird.
The south beach is usually covered
with shells and other products of the
sea, this island and the others intercepting the
drift of shells to the shore of the mainland.
On Ship island, as at several places on the
main shore, can be heard the mysterious
music made by friction between the angular
particles of what is known as the singing
sands. In early years this weird music was
the source Of much speculation and fear
among the superstitious. In the spring time
the salt water of the gulf, as in all the warm
seas, is filled with microscopic specks of life,
known as noctiluca, which gives out the
phosphorescence which on dark nights leaves
track Of silvery light behind passing boat
bright enough to read by, or, when the sur
face Of the water is tossed into pillows, pre-
sents view grand as it is awe inspiring.
Gustave Dore must have had sight of a
phosphorescent sea on a dark, windy night to
help him in his faithful portrayal of the burn
ing lake in Dante's "Inferno."
Ship island barbor is one of the finest in the
United States. 1t was here, in the month of
February, 1899, that Lemoyne d'Iberyille,
